Thank you for leaving the link to your site here. My contest keep me so busy that I barely have time to reach out into steem it anymore. 😖 So if you ever need help or have questions like this again, feel free to ask.

As far as who is a steemit witness, they are the people who helped keep everything here moving. They create applications, content, work on projects for steemit, help fund contest and games, some of them delegate SP to other people. Each Witness can and does have different views and opinions on everything involving steemit. Some work together, some work by themselves.

I think your next question it matters which ones you pick because they are the ones determining everything I stated above. They are the people who will be deciding large portions of the future of the steemit platform. Your votes for Witness should not be taken lightly. The votes are very important and you should know the people you are voting for people, who they are, and what they truly stand for.

And now, as far as who I personally believe would be good witnesses to vote for. This is what I would say, if you like what I do, and how I try to help the community and the people in it you should look for Witnesses who are also like me. I AM NOT A WITNESS. However as I said I will make a few recommendations of people I personally believe are trying to help the people and the community.

These are the ones that I know that really seem to be wanting to help the community. I'm sure that there are more out there, I just haven't met them or ran across them yet. I personally proxy my votes to@abh12345. I would definitely take time if you are going to make each vote yourself, to check out each person that you are voting for. If you have anymore questions, or if you're not sure about something please feel free to ask. I hope this has been helpful and that you have a wonderful day.
